About Me

I’m trying to learn, see, and do as much as possible during my short time on this earth.

I have been found climbing the tallest mountain in New Mexico, spending a week camping on a secluded beach, joining a commune for a bit, riding a motorcycle around Barcelona, hiking 50 miles in one day, and hitchhiking.

But the more I do, I realize that my most valuable experiences are connecting with other people.

It would be awesome for you to be a part of the adventure!

It would be nice to have someone to trade stories with, but if you are tired or busy I’m happy spending time on my own too.

I’m very open minded, flexible, and adventurous :)

A man once told Buddha, “I want happiness.”
Buddha replied, “First, remove the ‘I’; that’s ego. Then remove ‘want’; that’s desire. And now all you’re left with is happiness.”

❌ NOT LOOKING FOR 🍆 💦 ❌

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the best form of travel.
Hostels and hotels turn travel into a business transaction, obscuring human connection.
Couchsurfing makes travel about what it should be: the new people you encounter and the adventures you have with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went skiing in a bikini! (although I forgot to put sunscreen on…)

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to explore the city, share travel stories, practice Spanish and maybe French, play some guitar, and exchange cultures

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you practice English if you’re learning, have conversations, do art.
If you don’t mind me using your kitchen, I can also cook you a nice meal in exchange
